Chapter 89 – Battle Against Madara 应对斑的战斗

Five days passed in a flash. During this time, although Uchiha Itachi had nullified the Edo Tensei technique, the situation for the Ninja Allied Forces grew increasingly tense. In the medical unit tent, Mitarashi Anko finally woke up. Due to severe chakra depletion, she could only manage to get out of bed and walk with difficulty. Shizune decided to keep Anko in the medical unit and assigned her to the security team to protect the medical staff and the wounded.

"Am I... only capable of this now?" Anko stood outside the tent, looking at the battlefield engulfed in smoke in the distance. She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Shizune patted her shoulder gently. "Protecting the medical unit matters. We're all playing our part in winning."

Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield was getting grimmer. Uchiha Madara, revived through Edo Tensei, was overwhelming the battlefield with his overpowering strength. This forced the Five Kages—Tsunade, Gaara, Onoki, Mei Terumī, and Raikage A—to fight together for the first time, engaging him head - on. However, even their combined efforts were hardly enough to withstand Madara's onslaught.

On the other side, "Masked Madara" led an army in pursuit of Naruto and Killer B, aiming to capture the remaining tailed beasts. The head - on confrontation between them was intensifying, leaving the battlefield in shambles. At the same time, they were nearing the revelation of "Masked Madara"'s true identity.

...

Lin Yuan made his way alone across the battlefield. He held kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God technique. Every so often, he would drop one or leave a faint technique mark. This behavior prompted Jiuchong Ring in his mental space to grumble, "Lin Yuan, I'm really speechless. Are you that scared of death? Is it really necessary to scatter Flying Thunder God kunai everywhere?"

As he moved quickly, Lin Yuan retorted helplessly, "What do you know? This is a tactic. One more Flying Thunder God mark means one more escape route. I don't want to die without a clear reason."

Jiuchong Ring snorted. "Coward. I thought you had some fearless spirit."

Lin Yuan didn't explain further and kept going. He was headed for the battlefield where Naruto, Killer B, and "Masked Madara" were battling.

On the battlefield where "Masked Madara" was, with the combined efforts of Naruto, Killer B, Kakashi, and Guy, the battle reached a fever pitch. Kakashi's keen insight managed to leave a scratch on "Masked Madara"'s mask. However, the latter's intangibility ability was still a major headache.

During a crucial clash, Kakashi promptly activated Kamui and sucked Naruto's Rasengan into the Kamui dimension. The Rasengan successfully hit the intangible right shoulder of "Masked Madara," briefly revealing his physical form. This strike shattered "Masked Madara"'s defenses and helped Kakashi reach a startling conclusion. "Masked Madara" turned intangible by shifting part of his body to "dimensional space", and Kakashi's Kamui dimension was linked to it!

This discovery subtly changed the situation on the battlefield. Kakashi quickly relayed this information to his teammates. A flicker of surprise also flashed in "Masked Madara"'s eyes.

"So you've figured it out that quickly..." he muttered, his tone laced with displeasure.

Just then, a golden light approached rapidly from afar. Lin Yuan descended from the sky, holding a Flying Thunder God kunai, and landed steadily beside Naruto, Kakashi, and Guy.

"Sorry, I was a bit delayed on the way." Lin Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone somewhat relaxed. "But luckily, I made it."

Naruto stared at Lin Yuan, surprised at first, then grinned. "Lin Yuan! Glad you're here!"

Guy gave a thumbs-up. Kakashi nodded, relieved. "Your arrival could change the battle."

Lin Yuan eyed "Masked Madara" across from them, his gaze filled with scrutiny and vigilance. He tightened his grip on the kunai and said in a low voice, "This guy is really troublesome."

"Then stop talking and let's attack!" Naruto clenched his fists. The orange Nine - Tails chakra cloak blazed around him. His eyes fixed on "Masked Madara," brimming with fighting spirit.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and twirled the Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand. "Don't rush, Naruto. First, let's figure out the pattern of his intangibility. Didn't Kakashi already discover some key points? Intangibility isn't invincible."

"Right," Kakashi nodded. His eyes scanned "Masked Madara" as he calmly analyzed, "He turns intangible by sending part of his body to a dimensional space. I used Kamui to send the Rasengan there. It hit him when he was intangible, so our spaces are connected."

Guy clenched his fists, wearing a confident smile. "In that case, as long as we can create opportunities to disrupt his rhythm, we're sure to find his weak point!"

At this moment, "Masked Madara" stood not far away, watching the group quietly. Although his mask concealed his expression, an overwhelming sense of confidence could still be felt from his steady voice. "Hmph, so what if you've discovered my ability? Can you few pose a threat to me?"

Lin Yuan raised his hand and threw a kunai directly at "Masked Madara." At the same time, his body vanished in a streak of golden light. As the kunai flew, Lin Yuan suddenly appeared and behind "Masked Madara." He unleashed a "Celestial Split Fist," sending a powerful chakra-charged punch right at him.

However, "Masked Madara" turned casually. His body became intangible in an instant. Lin Yuan's attack went right through him, just stirring up a gust of air.

"Useless tricks," he sneered.

=====================

五天时间转瞬即逝.在这段时间里,虽然秽土转生之术已被宇智波鼬解除了,但忍者联军的局势还是愈发紧张.医疗部队的帐篷中,御手洗红豆终于悠悠醒来,但因为体内查克拉严重亏空,直到现在才能勉强下床行走.静音决定将红豆留在医疗部队,并安排她加入保卫队,保护医护人员和伤员的安全.

"我...现在只能做到这种程度了吗?" 红豆站在帐篷外,看着远方弥漫硝烟的战场,握紧了拳头,目光中满是不甘.

静音轻轻拍了拍她的肩膀:"保卫医疗部队,也是重要的战斗.我们每个人都在为胜利做贡献."

与此同时,战场上的局势愈加严峻.秽土转生的宇智波斑以压倒性的力量碾压战场,迫使五影,纲手,我爱罗,大野木,照美冥和艾,首次携手作战,与他正面交锋.然而即使是五影的联手,依然难以抵挡斑的压制.

另一边,"面具斑" 率领大军追击鸣人和杀人蜂奇拉比,企图捉拿剩余的尾兽.他们之间的正面对决愈演愈烈,战场上一片狼藉.与此同时,距离揭开 "面具斑" 的真实身份,也越来越近了.

...

林远独自穿行于战场之间,他的手中拿着一把有一把的飞雷神术式苦无,每隔一段路便丢下一枚,或留下一道浅浅的术式印记.这样的行为让九重戒在他的精神空间中忍不住吐槽:"林远,我真是服了你,这么怕死!到处丢飞雷神术式,有必要吗?"

林远一边快速移动,一边无奈地回嘴:"你懂个什么?这是战术.多一个飞雷神术式,就多一条退路,我可不想死得不明不白."

九重戒哼了一声:"胆小鬼.亏我还以为你会有什么大无畏精神."

林远懒得再解释,继续向前赶路.他的目标是鸣人,杀人蜂与 "面具斑" 交战的战场.

在 "面具斑" 所在的战场,鸣人,杀人蜂,卡卡西与凯的联手之下,战斗进入白热化阶段.卡卡西敏锐的洞察力成功在 "面具斑" 的面具上留下一道刻痕,但后者的虚化能力依然让人头疼.

在一次关键交锋中,卡卡西果断发动神威,将鸣人的螺旋丸吸入神威空间.螺旋丸成功击中"面具斑" 虚化的右肩部分,使其短暂显现出实体.这一击,不仅破坏了 "面具斑" 的防御,还让卡卡西得出一个惊人的结论, "面具斑" 的虚化能力,是通过将身体的一部分,转移至 "时空间" ,而自己的神威空间与他的时空间术式,竟然是彼此相连的!

这一发现让战场上的局势发生了微妙的变化,卡卡西迅速将这一情报传递给队友们,而 "面具斑" 的目光中也闪过一丝诧异.

"那么快就察觉了么..." 他低声自语,语气中带着不悦.

就在这时,一道金色的光芒从远方飞速靠近.林远手持飞雷神苦无从天而降,稳稳地落在鸣人,卡卡西与凯的身旁.

"抱歉,路上耽搁了点时间." 林远擦了擦额头的汗珠,语气中带着些许轻松,"不过还好,我赶上了."

鸣人看着林远,愣了一下,随即笑道:"林远!你来了,太好了!"

凯则伸出大拇指,卡卡西微微颔首,目光中带着一丝欣慰:"有你在,战局或许会发生一些变化."

林远看了眼对面的 "面具斑",目光中带着审视与警惕.他紧了紧手中的苦无,低声说道:"这家伙很棘手."

"那就别废话了,直接上吧!" 鸣人握紧拳头,橙色的九尾查克拉披风在他身上燃烧起来,目光紧盯着 "面具斑",浑身战意高涨.

林远微微一笑,甩了甩手中的飞雷神苦无:"别急,鸣人.我们先搞清楚他的虚化规律,刚才卡卡西不是已经发现了一些关键点吗?虚化可不是无敌的."

"嗯," 卡卡西点头,目光扫向 "面具斑" ,冷静分析道, "他的虚化是通过转移身体的一部分到时空间内来实现的.我刚才用神威攻击让螺旋丸进入是空间,后来在他虚化时,确实击中了他.也就是说,他的时空间术式和我的神威是相连的."

凯握紧拳头,露出自信的笑容:"这样的话,只要我们能够制造机会,打破他的节奏,就一定能找到破绽!"

此时,"面具斑" 站在不远处,静静地看着几人.虽然面具遮住了他的表情,但从他平稳的语气中,依然能感受到一股压倒性的自信:"哼,发现了我的能力又如何?就凭你们几个,能威胁到我吗?"

林远抬起手,直接将苦无朝 "面具斑" 掷去,同时身体化作一道金色流光消失无踪.苦无飞行途中,林远的身影瞬间出现在 "面具斑" 的侧后方,他抬手轰出一记 "天裂拳",拳劲携带着强烈的查克拉波动直击 "面具斑".

然而,"面具斑" 轻描淡写地转身,身体瞬间虚化,林远的攻击直接从他身体穿过,只在空气中掀起一阵狂风.

"无聊的伎俩." 他语气不屑.
